It reaches to the financial fabric of the .entire community. At first thought it may sound well to say,· "I can save a nickle on it in Salt Lake," or "I am going to Blank City tomorrow and I can call at Blank store and buy for 98c what costs me a dollar here," but upon a closer analysis there is another side to the case. How many times do you patronize your local merchant and accept of them the accomodation of a charge account? And how many times do you go out of town and pay cMh and help another merchant build up another community? Perhaps y<>u have not recognized that part of the reason why your local merchant charges you a cent or two, or even a dime, more than the outside competition is because he is offering you accomodations that you have failed to calculate in the cost. Very few merchants will hesitate to meet you on a real business basis and practically all of them (certainly all that continue in bnsiness under present-day competition) will treat Just take you right in every way. the trouble to learn some of the items that constitute the "spread" on the commodities you buy at home and elsewhere and learn the significance of them. No doubt you will convince yourself in a short time that vou are actually saving money by buying at home. Continue for a moment on another angle of the problem. Have you observed that you accumulate a great deal more because of actual savings by buying out of town? You admit that your money is all spent in either case, which is evidence that probably your local merchants do not operate 'hold-up plants." But that is not all . you are failing to support and build up your own community. Why, certainly. Shop at home?

The average yearly pack is 16,000 cases. In spite of a small acreage and a backward season, the run this year will he about 14,000 cases. Contrary to what might be expected, the -t omatoes this year are of good quality; in fact, they are better than usual. The average run at the plant is about 800 cases per day, or 2400 cans per hour. Last ThUlsday, September 9, a record pack of 916 cases was turned out. There are four sizes of cans filled, and two grades of packing, besides catsup. All the tomatoes used are carefully sorted and objectionable parts or tomatoes thrown away. The products arP. therefore of a high quality, as is attested by their growing popularity with the consuming public. The regular run turns out the extra standard g'rade. The handpacked grade consists of tomatoes that have been carefully selected for solidity and color, and packed by hand. C<mtrary to the common nc>tion that a tomato cannery is a place of filth and muss, the Draper plant is strictly clean and sanitary. The product packed is carefully selected, the workers observe strict rules of cleanliness, the cans are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized, and the plant is polished up twice daily. The free use of cold water, :bot water and steam is of insuring the final the means touches of cleanliness and sanitation. Each noon and each evening after operation ce~ses, the washing and scouring is attended to. It is interesting to follow the tomatoes from the field to the exportation in car-l{)ad lots. They are picked packed in bushel boxes and hauled to 'the factory. Upon receipt at the factory they are emptied into a tank of cold water to remove all mud, dirt, etc. As an elevator carries them out {)f this fank they pass under a spray of clean water. Then they pass over a sorting table where any sunburned or otherwise inferior tomatoes or parts, or stems are removed. They next pass through a scalder to l{)osen the skins and emerge into pans carried on a conveyor belt. This conveyor takes them inside the plant to a point from which they are conveniently distributed to the peelers. After ladies peel them they are emptied by the bucket-full into the can-filling table. A supply of thoroughly steam-sterilized cans feeds into this rotating table from above, and they are filled by hand as they pass once around the circle <>f the table. The filled cans then pass into the exhaust box and are heated sufficiently to expell the air from the juice and the tomatoes, /.&nd to A grass fire kindled on the bench east of Draper last Monday was fanned to gigantic proportions by the strong south breeze, and spread over a wide area. Bell canyon and other beauty spots were robbed of their charm by the fury of the lashing flames. A fire of thirty years ago left its marks of ruin on this tract, but the young_ forests and other vegtation had co~menced to claim it as one of nature's beauty spots. This calamity, however, has not only been superimposed over the ~me area, but has even cleared out the decaying charred trunks of the forests destroyed by the flames of some thirty years ago. It was feared that the blaze would spread into the forests higher up the slopes, but through the combined efforts of unfavorable winds, firefighting brigades, and a timely shower the rising clouds of smoke were dispelled by Saturday night. Another fire was started on the dry grass lands southeast of Draper Saturday afternoon, probably by cinders from a passing freight train. This fire made considerable headway and was doing damage along the railroad track. The evening passenger train, however, was brought into service and the steam from the locomotime was used to extinguish the damaging blaze. The grass fire belowthe track finally depleted its supply of tinder. It all goes to show that there are adversities with the greatest possible precautions, and these show us all the immensity of the damage that may result from a slight act or carelessness or neglect with fire. At least one home was destroyed and its owner shorn oJ about all he had, including much of his clothing. Thus this fire has proven not only a property loss, but also a social penalizer. CAPITOL SERVICE IN DRAPER Through the efforts of the officers of the Civic club a cleaning, dying and pressing service has been etablished. A need was felt for a definite schedule of reliable service, and the leading Salt Lake companies were invited to extend their service to our community. The officers were unable to complete arrangement. with the Myers company, but found the Capitol company ready to render their best service. An agency was offered, and the Rideout Mere., company will receive work and deliver it to the plant. The Capitol company will then deliver the finished job to the patrons, guaranteeing satisfaction. Our community policy is to cooperate in all fields. cause sufficient theomic expansion to allow capping without having the can too full. From the exhaust box the filled cans pass througih the fill· equalizing machine where the fill is corrected by hand and by machine, tomatoes lieing added or removed as the degree of fill demands. From the fill correetor the cans pass through the capper, which automatically caps and seals by a thoroughly f{)lded joint between the can and the edge of the cap. This process is itself a scientific perfection that seldom fails to make a properly air-tight seal of the can. From the capper the sealed cans pass out to a table from which they are loaded exactly four at a time into baskets called rings. The filled rings are picked up by an electric lh.oist and conveyor which is operated to lower the rings filled with sealed cans into tthe cookers. The boiling is continued for the correct length of time (which time is one of the trade secrets and varies with different sizes of cans.) After the cooking, the crane picks them up again and lowers them into a tank of cold water which subjects them to a semi-cool state so they may be handled by hand. After they are removed from the semi-cooling bath, they are transferred , from the electric crane to a hand dolley or truck with which they are ~auled into the warehouses. In the warehouses they are removed from the rings by hand and stacked for cooing, drying and storage. When the rush is over and the demand for the finished product is right, the cans are labled, packed into cases and loaded out in carload lots. On the whole the canning plant in its operatiton is little less than an example of the modem up-to-date factoory system which has revolutionized manufacturing, and has made the production of the canning products a basic resource in the community. -Editor. · ADDITIONAL D.RAPER ON ANOTHER PAGE.
